Description
On 27 January, 1969, a pharmacy in Provo, Utah, was burglarized. On 19 February, 1969, a Salt Lake County deputy sheriff obtained a search warrant from a District Judge, after presenting an affidavit listing property taken in the burglary. The warrant was directed to defendants home, was served on him there, where a search was made resulting in discovery and seizure of property taken from the pharmacy. Among other things the affidavit, to show probable cause, said that the deputy had reason to believe the property (an inventory of which was referred to and attached to the affidavit) was stolen, showing or tending to show that a felony had been committed. It further stated he had been a deputy sheriff for 19 years and received information in that capacity from one Reynolds, of the Dept. of Business Regulation, who made a buy of property through the latters informant, which property was identified as having been taken in the burglary, and being then in the possession of the defendant. One Max Weenig, an inmate of the County Jail where defendant was placed after arrest, said defendant told him he burglarized the pharmacy, stating details thereof. Weenig testified without any promise or threat of anyone of reward or recrimination. Defendant did not testify and called no witnesses.
